To build interest in their super fight for middleweight supremacy, Oscar De La Hoya and Middleweight Champion Bernard Hopkins share a billing. While Hopkins takes care of Robert Allen on the undercard, De La Hoya struggles with undefeated WBO Champion Felix Sturm. Oscar bangs away at Sturm's body for the first half of the fight, but the natural middleweight withstands the assault and beats De La Hoya to the punch the rest of the way. The judges, however, choose De La Hoya unanimously but by the slimmest of margins.

Gilberto Ramirez is ranked number 1 now. Badou Jack is the man of the hour with his performance vs James DeGale. But I like Callum Smith I already told his trainer Joe Gallagher I think Callum is tops and the best fighter he has or maybe ever will work with I chat from time to time with Coach Gallagher so I told him Callum is the Truth and I'am sticking with Callum Smith and Joe Gallagher as the Future of the Division.

Through 2 rounds and it's just as good a fight as I remember it, Oscar is making the fight so far which is why I've given him the rounds. But Strum is countering effectively and nailing Oscar with that shotgun jab already bloodying DLH's nose.
